Harnessing Algae Power for Pollution Reduction and Blue Growth
The project addresses environmental challenges and promotes sustainable economic development in the region. It aims to establish the Black Sea Algae Knowledge Hub, a centralized platform for sharing research, innovation, and best practices related to algae. Key activities include developing an AI-powered algae monitoring tool called AlgaeSense, and pilot actions to identify and cultivate algae species with industrial potential for pollution reduction and industrial uptake.
Project partners: Via Pontica Foundation (PP1- lead partner- Bulgaria); Burgas State University “PROF. D-R ASSEN ZLATAROV (PP2 – Bulgaria); Tsotne Mirtskulava Water Management Institute of the Georgian Technical University (PP3-Georgia); Odesa State Agrarian University (PP4 -Ukraine); Hellenic Agricultural Organization DIMITRA (PP5 -Greece); Universitatea Ovidius Din Constanta (PP6 -Romania).
Start date: 02/09/2024
End date: 01/03/2027
Total budget: 1.470.899,04 €
The overall objective of the AlgaeRevive project is to create a sustainable and innovative ecosystem for algae research, innovation, and industrial uptake in the Black Sea region. The project aims to leverage the potential of algae as a solution for pollution reduction, particularly in the context of marine ecosystems, while also exploring their potential for various industrial applications.
